About Arbour Health Services The Boston Center
The Boston Center in Allston, Massachusetts, is a facility operated by Arbor Counseling Services that provides addiction treatment services. Some treatment options provided include medication assisted treatment and community based services. The facility also provides outpatient services for children and adolescents as well as couples therapy.
Proven Medication For Stabilization and Maintenance
The medications offered in the medication assisted treatment service are Vivitrol and Suboxone, which can help treat symptoms associated with opioid and alcohol dependence. Other components of the service include individual counseling, group counseling, and referral to community programs based on your needs.
Staff members will follow specific guidelines to help you achieve stabilization. Stabilization is when you have no withdrawal symptoms and no uncontrollable cravings. The next phase will be maintenance, where you’ll continue to abstain from using substances for two to eight weeks, with toxicological samples taken monthly to hold you accountable.
I also noticed that the facility can taper you off the medication if you decide that you’re ready to begin a tapering schedule. It’s ideal for clients to begin when they have stable housing, income, and psychosocial support.
Community Service to Support Your Recovery
I like that The Boston Center has paraprofessional staff who will help you get access to community based services such as housing and healthcare. The service also features a 24 hour crisis line and coordination with other healthcare providers.
An additional service provided is the Recovery Support Navigator, which is available to clients who have substance use disorder and a co occurring mental health disorder. You’ll receive temporary transportation to appointments and help with understanding your treatment options.
Treatment Near the Heart of Boston
Located on Fordham Road, you’re minutes away from popular areas in Boston, such as Boston Common and Fan Pier Park. You can take time after your treatment sessions to enjoy the sights of the city or take in some nature scenery at the Charles River Esplanade.
